Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Phillip Webb at slot 235, roughly 88 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Pierce that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 72 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 149th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
They jumped the gun on Carson Vinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 235th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 242 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
